The mezcal margaritas are divine and everything on the menu is delectable. As a result, the place is often busy. Unfortunately, they don't take reservations but use a great system of taking your name and texting you once your table is ready. That way you can grab a cocktail and appetizer down the street while you wait.

This clothing-optional beach boasts one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Vancouver. The sunsets will leave you breathless. The vibe is fun and friendly. Keep in mind you have to trek down a loooooooong set of stairs to get to the beach. And after your R&R, you'll have to face the climb as you would a good stair master workout.
